If you don't like it then don't participate. This conversation progressed through a natural process and was not hijacked by anybody.Wow the hijacking of threads on the forum though... From wasps to disabilities? There are other places to talk about this.
Because this is how conversations go. Sometimes you get down a track and think how did we get here. There is no point turning around until we've had a look though.True, but why can't we just keep the thread about what it was originally made for?
Considering there weren't any replies to the thread until a week after being posted I fail to see how the thread was hijacked. It has just progressed along a different path, a path worthy of discussion in my opinion.Imported_tuatara and Foozil are totally justified in requesting that the thread be brought back on topic. If the OP does not have a right to bring a thread back on topic, then what is the point of them starting the thread in the first place? What about those that wish to read about hyper allergic reactions to toxins and discover the vast majority of the thread is about something else? And those wishing to make a comment about hyper allergic reactions but don’t want to risk wasting their time and energy in doing so, as it is may well be ignored because the conversation is dominated by completely different topics?
Intentionally or unintentionally, in this particular the topic was hijacked IMO. In the second post a comment was made about how “kids never used to be allergic to peanuts” and schools never had to ban it. Fair enough, as it was at least related to the topic in terms of hyper reactions to allergens. Unfortunately that was then followed by a spurious comment and question about schools dealing with autism, with no explanation of how this linked to the original topic. If that is not taking the discussion off topic, then what is?
I will add that there are circumstances where a thread sometimes gets diverted by a side issue which is contentious but basically emanates from a post on the topic at hand. Fair enough to let it run for a brief period and see if it is resolved. This usually does not put people off posting on topic at the same time. That is not same as having two or more very different topics running concurrently, to the detriment of the OP’s intended topic.
I am a Father of five kids from the age of three up to eleven and can definitely attest to there being no screening forms given. Your kid gets jabbed, you have to hang around for half an hour to see if there are any extreme side effects and you are then sent on your way with a piece of paper that tells you some minimal side effects to look for.
